SPACE: A Journey to Our Future
Young scholars make a rocket, simulate a space environment and use different materials to see their effect on lens.
Curated OER
Look Ma! I'm a Rocket Scientist!
Students use a ball to push and pull to demonstrate the concept of force. In this force lesson plan, students talk about the importance of force in space and use balls to demonstrate this phenomena.
Curated OER
Hide and Seek Rocket
Young scholars cut out and color their own rocket. They use clues in relation to numbers and words to find hidden rockets. They ask each other questions to determine the exact location.
Curated OER
Rocket Construction
Learners create rockets out of wood. They practice using comparison words to describe the differences in height. They also color pictures of rockets from different countries.
